Doug Hewitt, Late night lightning (PLACES 2023)

Long after the storm had passed over us at home, the sky continued to light up in the east and the south almost non-stop. I headed to the beach at Shellharbour hoping to see the storm off the coast and was not disappointed. Constant lightning provided an amazing show and lots of amazing photo opportunities. This was my favourite from the night with the light from this strike reflecting in the shallow water of the rock shelf pools.
